Not exactly late breaking news, but I haven't seen anything so thought I'd post up.

Models affected:
01-02 Prairie 300 & 400
03-05 Prairie 360
02-03 Prairie 650
04-05 Prairie 700
05 Brute Force 650

Pertains to Steering knuckle replacement. Kawi will replace for free. My letter just says call the dealer and schedule an appt, but must also bring the letter to my appt.

If you're an original owner you probably got the same notice, but if you bought second hand, well we all know how that goes.

For questions you can call toll free (866) 802-9381

I got my letter 2-3 weeks ago and I haven't tried to call yet for an appt. but in the letter they do mention that initial offering of replacement parts may be limited so exercise some patience.

They also give a speal on how to do your own inspection if you must use it before you can get it serviced. I think I saw something that said there was a video on their website on how to do the inspection as well.

Got the same one. Seems after my inspection and the lack of time I have, I just ride it. When it falls apart, it will go to the shop.
